"Listen to me!"

During the summer we listened to a group of young people with experience of mental health issues, and their families, in Hillingdon.

Aninterim report of the conversations, "Listen to me!", published collaboratively by Hillingdon Mind and Healthwatch Hillingdon, presents a selection of evidence about how young people experiencing mental health problems often don't believe their voices are being heard.

It also highlights the desire by young people to be seen as "normal" and not feel judged or stigmatizes (which puts them off accessing support services), the importance of friends and family in providing support, and the central role the internet and social media play in the way young people respond to problems. The report sets out areas for further investigation, including looking at new models for delivering the full range of mental health support in Hillingdon, as part of a "whole system" approach to emotional resilience, and being able to talk openly about mental health issues and receive help.
